General Buildings

Description

A heritage icon in the heart of Auckland city, home to a number executive office tenants, and the famous Wine Chambers restaurant.
With buildings of this type, the constraints on alteration works are onerous, however, with some creative thinking, well worn spaces have been transformed into contemporary executive offices.
Structural improvements are also part of the mix, and these changes have been executed without any visible changes to the existing building fabric.
This is seismic architecture at its best.
Recently we created a new retail space for Working Style, on the ground floor, by creating a new entry from the street.
The most frequently asked question: ‘what did you actually do on this project?’
It is true that the new entry from the street never existed before, despite many who swear that this entry has always been there.
